Well, I've been pretty busy at work lately but today our software is on the fritz making my job hard to do. But that's why I totally skipped weekend goals so I'll just fill you in on what I would have said and what I did.
See Wolverine: X-Men Origins at a matinee: Check. My friend Sarah came with me and I was glad she did because there were two actors from our favorite Austrailian TV show and it was fun to be able to turn to each other at the same time and be like "Did you see who that was?" Okay but back to the star, Hugh Jackman. Hot Hot Hot. I really liked the movie, but I'm not overly critical of good action flicks.
Make Weight Goal for first challenge: One pound off. Oh well. I'll definitely have to try harder for the next challenge. Although do you remember how I'm still not overly motivated. But I'll keep trying. 12 pounds to lose for the next one. If I do that, then that would be awesome so wish me luck.
Begin craft projects to give away: Check. I wish I could say what they are but I want the recipients to be a surprise so I'll tell you later, but it will be a few weeks. I'm really excited for them and hope they turn out how I imagine them.
Attend an entire block of church: Check. I know, shocker right? I had already decided that I would stay for Sunday school so I went into the virtually empty room and took a seat on the back row. As the room filled with more people, this guy I met a few weeks ago and bonded with over the new Watchmen movie (that's all we really talked about) sat next to me after I said hi. We chatted about the new wolverine movie (see already in a rut, this friendship is going no where) and then looked up scriptures on our handy dandy Apple devices (he had an Itouch whereas I have an Iphone). But I did get onto his movie night email list. He holds a weekly movie night which is totally my scene. I was pretty sure I wouldn't make it through Relief Society and had pretty much decided to go when one of my visiting teachers came in to the room and knowing how I feel sat next to me, moaning a little herself about wanting to go home, and somehow got me to stay. I should have gone home, but I'm glad I made it through. Hopefully it will make the next time easier, of course next sunday I'll be at my mom's house so going to church will be very iffy.
Other unexpected happenings:
Carrie came over and brought pizza (could be the reason for being off one pound, but hey I needed to be there for my friend). We went for a walk after to JoAnn's for fabric and spent a lot more time there than we expected. Looking at patterns is really fun. Then a guy from our ward called her up to go bowling, so the three of us hit Fat Cats and had a really good time, then we just talked at my house for another hour or so.

You're not talking about Jemaine and Bret, are you? I didn't see them in it. Who are the two Australian actors that you like that were in Wolverine?
Jemaine and Bret are New Zealanders so it wasn't them. I'm keeping who somewhat of a surprise until my friend Melanie sees the movie since she loves the show too but I'll tell you who they play. One plays Logan's real father and the other is one of his lumberjack co-workers.
Sounds like a good weekend. And one pound is at least heading in the right direction. Way to go.
Getting so close to your weight goal is awesome! Good job! I think you should be really proud of yourself. How long did you give yourself to lose 12 lbs?
I am the same way about action movies - not overly critical usually. Usually. It has to be pretty bad for me to walk out of the room thinking it was a waste of time and money.
It was nice chatting with you last night and now I'm totally wanting to have another cousins weekend! I miss hanging out with you and Aly and it's been too long since our last one. I wish we could get together in May but since it's pretty busy, maybe June! If nothing else, at least we have July!! :)
What do you mean you "should have gone home." I don't get what was so bad about a lesson about "You are Loved." Help me out here, friend.
PS... let's play soon. seriosuly. i want to. i mean it
